This series captures the mesmerizing shapes and vibrant colors of Iceland's glacier rivers, as seen from above. Carved by the relentless flow of meltwater, these rivers carry fine sediments and minerals, which create swirling patterns and hues only visible from the sky. This series explores how the geological forces sculpt the landscape into forms that challenge our perception, transforming the familiar into something almost unrecognizable and purely artistic.

As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes. Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need. Through the sale of books and prints, I aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by communities in developing countries and contribute to meaningful projects. Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me.
